Google OAuth Access for Argus

Argus is a private AI executive assistant that helps authenticated users manage Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Tasks through natural-language requests. Google access is granted only after the user completes Google OAuth consent, and can be revoked at any time from the user’s Google Account.

What Argus does

  • Summarize unread school emails and show the important ones first.
  • Draft and send a reply to a meeting request after user approval.
  • Add a family appointment to Google Calendar and update it if the time changes.
  • Archive newsletters, keep school emails unread, and mark completed Google Tasks done.

What Argus does not do

  • Argus does not sell Google user data.
  • Argus does not use Google user data for advertising.
  • Argus does not use Google user data to train generalized AI models.
  • Argus does not share Google user data except as needed to provide the requested assistant service.

Requested Google OAuth scopes

ScopeHow Argus uses it
openid, userinfo.email, userinfo.profileIdentify the signed-in Google user and connect the correct account to the correct Argus profile.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonlyRead message metadata and content only when the user asks Argus to search, summarize, brief, or prepare replies from Gmail.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.sendSend emails only when the user asks Argus to draft and send a message or approves a prepared reply.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modifyComplete user-requested inbox actions such as archiving, labeling, marking read or unread, and moving messages to trash.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.eventsRead, create, update, and delete calendar events when the user asks Argus to manage their schedule.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasksRead and update Google Tasks when the user asks Argus to list open loops, add tasks, or mark tasks complete.

Minimum-use principle

Argus requests Google scopes only for features that are available in the product. When a narrower scope is sufficient, Argus uses the narrower scope. Write access is requested only for workflows where users expect the assistant to act on their behalf, such as creating calendar events, sending approved emails, or completing task-management actions.

How Google user data is handled

Google user data is used only to provide user-requested assistant functionality, such as reading calendar events, creating or updating calendar events, reading emails, sending emails, and managing tasks when the user asks the assistant to do so. We do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or use it to train generalized AI models.

Revocation and control

Users can revoke Argus access at any time from their Google Account permissions page. Revoking access prevents Argus from making further Gmail, Calendar, or Tasks API calls for that Google account until the user reconnects it.
